Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has reportedly cooled its interest in Marcus Rashford, just as the 27-year-old English forward seems ready to leave Manchester United. Rashford recently expressed his desire for a “new challenge,” following the arrival of Ruben Amorim as United’s new manager. Despite this, Rashford’s relationship with the club appears to be tense, especially after he was left out of the squad for a key match against Manchester City, a game in which United pulled off a dramatic 2-1 victory.
There were rumors circulating about a potential swap deal involving Rashford and PSG’s forward Randal Kolo Muani. However, these claims have been dismissed by the Daily Mail, who reported that this kind of deal is not likely to happen. Kolo Muani, who joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt for €75 million in the summer, is under contract with the French club until 2028, and his future at PSG is uncertain. He has not started a match since early October and was completely left out of PSG’s squad for their recent match against Lyon.
In response to questions about Kolo Muani’s situation, PSG’s manager Luis Enrique remained cryptic, stating that his decisions on player selections speak for themselves, but that they could change in the future. This further fueled speculation about Kolo Muani’s uncertain role at the club.
PSG had previously been linked with Rashford in 2022, but now it seems their interest has waned. The latest reports suggest that PSG is not pursuing a swap deal involving Rashford and Kolo Muani, making it less likely that Rashford will move to the French capital, at least in the immediate future.
